This application claims the priorities of U.S. provisional patent application No. 62/688,393, filed on Jun. 22, 2018 and Taiwan patent application no. 107213211, filed on Sep. 28, 2018, which are incorporated herewith by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a plug assembly, and more particularly to a plug assembly with a heat dissipation function.

2. The Related Art

As known, a quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) interface is assembled to and contacts with an outer shell. The quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) interface reaches a heat dissipation function by virtue of the outer shell cooperating with the QSFP interface. The outer shell has multiple radiating fins distributed on an external surface thereof. When the QSFP interface works, heat energies generated by the QSFP interface working are transmitted to the outer shell through a heat conduction way, and then a heat dissipation purpose is reached by use of the radiating fins distributed on the external surface of the outer shell.

However, in an aforesaid heat dissipation way, another shell needs assembling to the QSFP interface in addition, and consequently a volume and a manufacturing cost of the QSFP interface are increased.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide an innovative plug assembly with a heat dissipation function, so that the innovative plug assembly itself has a better heat dissipation effect.

When the plug assembly 100 is withdrawn from the switcher or the router, the pulling ring 36 is pulled rearward, because the two sides of the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 have no way of moving on account of the two sides of the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 being fastened by the two clamping portions of the switcher or the router, at the moment, the two abutting blocks 35 press rearward the two resilient elements 7, and simultaneously, the two resilient elements 7 generate forward resilient forces to abut against the two abutting blocks 35, respectively. When the pulling ring 36 is kept being pulled rearward, because the two abutting blocks 35 are affected by the resilient forces of the two resilient elements 7 to have no way of being kept moving rearward, two sides of the receding element 3 are made to expand, so that the two resisting portions 34 prop the two clamping portions to make the two clamping portions opened, the plug assembly 100 is able to be withdrawn from the switcher or the router.

When the plug assembly 100 is assembled and works in the switcher or the router, the circuit board 4 emits the heat due to a flow of electric currents, at the moment, the two first contact portions 42 are in contact with the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2, the plurality of the second contact portions 43 are in contact with the second heat-conducting element 221.

The at least one perforation 44, and the increased two first contact portions 42 and the plurality of the second contact portions 43 of the circuit board 4 make the plug assembly 100 have a better heat conduction effect. The surface of the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 of the plug assembly 100 is in contact with an inner wall of the switcher or the router to conduct thermal energies of the circuit board 4 to the switcher or the router, and a fan (not shown) of the switcher or the router extracts external air into the switcher or the router, and a forced convection between the plurality of the heat dissipation fins 211 of the switcher or the router and the external air to achieve a heat dissipation effect.

As described above, the second heat-conducting element 221 fastened to the bottom surface of the first heat-conducting element 223 of the plug assembly 100 contacts with the circuit board 4, so that the thermal energies of the circuit board 4 are conducted to the heat-conducting element 22 and the heat-conducting pipe 23 through the second heat-conducting element 221, and the thermal energies of the circuit board 4 are conducted through the upper cover 2 to the surface of the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 2 of the plug assembly 100 and the plurality of the heat dissipation fins 211.
